If you’re like most homeowners, carpet cleaning is likely not on your list of regular chores. Many assume that vacuuming will suffice—unfortunately, simply running over the carpet doesn’t tackle the heavier debris lying below the surface.

It’s true that most carpet companies require regular cleaning to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty, but there are several other reasons why regular carpet cleaning is important. By improving indoor air quality, allowing for easier floor maintenance and banishing bugs and mites, carpet cleaning is a smart choice for any homeowners looking to have clean and well-maintained floors.

Still not convinced? Here are some ways that carpet cleaning can be beneficial:

Improve indoor air. Carpet routinely holds on to dirt, but more dangerous pollutants and bacteria might also be lurking within the fibers. Any time your family comes inside, they’re unknowingly bringing contaminants from the outside air in with them. Because vacuuming only handles surface-level debris, the other pollutants are free to degrade indoor air quality until they’re professionally removed.

Have easier floor maintenance. While vacuuming only handles the surface dirt, professional cleaning and regular vacuuming can make your life much easier! Regularly cleaned carpets are simpler to vacuum because the heavy-duty dirt and debris have already been removed, so they’ll stay cleaner, longer.

Extend your carpet’s life. In remodels, carpet is often ripped out because it looks “tired”—which is just another way to say that it’s been too dirty for too long. Every time dirty carpet is walked on, the debris becomes more embedded and serves as sandpaper against the fibers, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Remove mites and bugs. Like any soft material, mites and bugs are quite happy taking residence within carpet fibers. Thankfully, professional cleaning creates an inhospitable living environment for the critters, and staying on a regular schedule will prevent them from coming back.
